$ cat /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/qt4-gui/pkg-message Qt paint engine makes common use of shared memory. To avoid MIT-SHM errors (i.e., blank windows), you probably need to raise shared memory limits in loader.conf(5). The following should be safe values for the KDE Plasma Desktop: kern.ipc.shmall=32768 kern.ipc.shmmni=1024 kern.ipc.shmseg=1024 -- Alberto Villa, FreeBSD committer <avi...@freebsd.org> http://people.FreeBSD.org/~avilla _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
